What’s your field?
What’s at the core of your field? (this is an interdisciplinary group)
How did you get interested in that field?
What led you to pursue graduate work?
How did you get interested in research?
What role does it play in your intellectual life?
What does your research center on?
How did you choose that?
Did you have mentors? What was their role in your development?
What advice would you give to students interested in getting involved in research?
